Description
Manual
gearbox; 10 former keepers; classic white with a striking red leather interior;
accompanying the vehicle is a history file containing various
invoices.
Offered for sale is this charming
1963 Jaguar Mk2 2.4L, first registered in June 1963 and presented in classic
white with a striking red leather interior that perfectly captures the elegance
and character of a 1960s British sports saloon. Powered by the smooth 2,483cc
engine paired with a manual gearbox, the car delivers the traditional Jaguar
driving experience that enthusiasts have admired for decades. The car is also
fitted with an overdrive.
This example has had 10
former keepers and has been in the current ownership since April 2022. It
remains an appealing example of the marque, offering timeless styling, refined
road manners and the unmistakable presence that only a classic Jaguar can
provide.
The car underwent a nut-and-bolt
restoration in the 1990s, which is supported by valuation certificates issued
shortly after the work was completed. Accompanying the vehicle is a history file
containing various invoices from over the years, documenting maintenance and
work carried out during its life. More recently, an invoice from December 2024
(see email/invoice reference) details further work including the rebuild of the
carburettors, brakes, ignition system and related components. These papers help
to illustrate the ongoing care the car has received and provide useful
background for the next custodian.
While on site,
the vehicle has been started, driven and brought to a stop as expected for the
purposes of photography and a short video, demonstrating that it moves under its
own power. As with any car of this age, prospective buyers should expect the
character and quirks associated with a classic vehicle of over sixty years
old.
This 1963 Jaguar Mk2 2.4L represents an
opportunity to acquire a handsome and usable classic British saloon with an
attractive colour combination, period charm and the potential to be enjoyed on
the road or further improved by its next enthusiast owner.
